    Banner battery has leaked...

    in TechTalk

    Posted

    Hi Robert.

    I had a leaking battery on mine not long after the build.  I had the overflow tube fitted but there was no sign of moisture in there.  The battery tray was covered in the white/green powdery gunk that I managed to clean off with water and bicarb.  Reason for the post is that it was the seam on the battery that failed on mine.  Double check yours for any sign of failure.

    Attaching front number plate

    I had an alternative method of a clean front end when I wanted it. I drilled the holes for the front plate then glued (araldite) some plastic nuts on the back of the nose cone to make them captive. Now when I want a clean front I just take the plate off and screw some black number plate screws in. Looks neat. Suppose you have to have a black band or nose cone though. 😳

    Go Large...

    Probably over done but they're still hanging with Sikaflex after after 4+ yrs.

     

    Then Forgive me but Mudflaps were fitted with Bigheads and Tigerseal.

    They are also still good so I think it has as much to do with prep as product?

    Door hinge question

    Never realised there were S3 and SV hinges, SV were too expensive but I think I'll invest in some of the S3 plastic ones and make something up to use them as wall hangers for when I'm out without doors.

    PBC and IVA Query

    Hi Ian, the distance might have made me think otherwise but I put mine on a trailer and took it to CC Midlands for PBC and had it booked in a few weeks later for SVA.

     

    So long as you followed what the book said and CC have checked it over then it should be good to go. Just make a last minute (week before) call to CC to make sure VOSA haven't added anything to their hit list. As others have said put a scratch set of tools in the boot and go for it. I probably shouldn't have but I actually enjoy it.

     

    Which ever way you go you'll be blatting soon and look like this 😬

    I used TR5A-10

    I've got the gap written on the garage wall somewhere but I can't find it!

    Ooops mine were NGK but no trouble in about 5000 miles

    I suffered with this for a long time, most noticeable when pulling away briskly. After checking earth's, other electrical connections and leaky hoses it turned out to be a duff spark plug.
